Pairing Bouillabaisse correctly — a note on a digestif of Calvados

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Bouillabaisse. I ordered it with a digestif of Calvados and the rich and refined elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. shallots in particular became more prominent in a good way.

the terroir philosophy links food to its region of origin. The a Parisian bistro is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Bouillabaisse with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
